Objectives: To compare the outcomes of miniaturised percutaneous nephrolithotomy (mini-PCNL) and extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL) in the management of 10-20 mm, non-lower pole, renal stones.

Patients And Methods: This prospective randomised double-arm trial was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Egypt from February to December 2020. Adult patients with single, non-lower pole, high-density (≥1000 HU) renal stones were randomised to receive mini-PCNL or ESWL.

Objective: This study aimed to compare the influences of postoperative oral function in patients with median or paramedian mandibulotomy during the radical resection of tongue carcinoma and to provide evidence for the choice of osteotomy location for mandibulotomy.

Methods: The clinical data of 126 patients who underwent combined radical neck dissection with mandibulectomy and glossectomy followed by simultaneous reconstruction were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to the position of mandibulotomy: median mandibulotomy group (median group, n=60) and paramedian mandibulotomy group (paramedian group, n=66).
